Level 17 is the 18th level of The Backrooms.
Description
"More dirty water… yay…"
Level 17 resembles an ever-expanding labyrinth of corridors, which all resemble that of the orlop deck of a cargo ship, bearing white steel walls and flooring as well as pipes and wiring running along the ceilings. Found all around the level are distinguishing features like portholes that look out to what seems to be pure darkness, large doors, dysfunctional lights, machines like power boxes and generators, among many other notable sights.
Many types of loud machinery may be heard in the walls of Level 17. Along with this, many doors and doorways may be found around the level, with some being locked on occasion. These doors are always valve doors or handle doors, with other designs being completely absent. Exit signs can be found as well, but these appear to serve no purpose as they commonly point nowhere.
Occasionally, rooms may be found between corridors of Level 17. These rooms can be empty or contain various furniture like metal shelves, tables, and sinks as well as objects such as Almond Water, food, and Books. Terminals may also be found, however this is not common. Other rooms like brigs and accommodations may also be found.
Some areas of Level 17 tend to flood due to leaks, making it harder to traverse through the level. The water is extremely cold, and rises at relatively fast rates, reaching to one's feet or chest in a matter of seconds, making some areas more dangerous than others. However, despite this the level is still relatively safe due to entities being exceptionally rare within it.
